Assisted Dying Member Information Event
09 Sep 2025, 14:00 - 15:00
Choose event information:
Join us to hear the latest updates on the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill in the Scottish Parliament and find out what we are doing to influence the legislation.
We take a neutral stance on the principle of assisted dying, meaning that we neither support nor oppose the Bill, but we are not silent on the issue. We believe that the Bill does not sufficiently safeguard registered nurses and that further protections are needed, both in the legislation itself and in the guidance that would follow.
This is your opportunity to engage as we progress our influencing activity to ensure the Bill contains the necessary safeguards to protect nurses and nursing practice.
Eileen McKenna, RCN Scotland’s Associate Director (Nursing, Policy and Professional Practice), will provide an update on the Bill and our influencing work so far. You can then participate in a virtual exercise to provide feedback on some key themes to support our future influencing work.
This is a MS Teams event so you will need a smartphone or computer and access to the internet.
For any queries about the event, please contact:
